With intros poping up like zits on a 15 year old, I was just curious how the rest of you heard about the HAMB. I came aboard when Aaron Von Deluxe has his site going and a link to this board. I had quite a few posts and then one day had to re-register so I lost like 300 posts, anyways lets hear them!
I found the jalopy journal through links from the greaser garage then found it when I was checking out the site.
I cant remember that one, but it was thru web surfing I'm sure while at work. Glad I did too.. I missed all the Aaron drama though..
chopper dave and shortbus......... shortbus told me about it. i looked and just saw nothing but shit talkin' and no actual car talk so i blew it off......then a long time later chopper dave called me and said people were askin about my 60 buick on here...so i checked it out....it was luckystiff lookin for info on it......so i kept checkin back and it seemed pretty cool so i signed up......now i waste soooo much time on here . BUT i have met some really good friends on here . both online and in person ...i get alot of info on here and hope i give enough info back ....if not i know i make up for it with smartass remarks. ..................viva la hamb
I was looking for info on other rodders going to the Turkey Run in Daytona. Runs are more fun if you have other people to share them with. This Topless Chick on another forum turned me on to the HAMB as a source of info. I haven't been the same since. Thanks again to our Toplees Cruising Buddy.
It came to me in a dream one night. Being a dream I didn't pay much attention, till the voices from the corn field drove me here. Heard about from a link on a music site, and word of mouth.
I was un the restroom stall at my favorite gay bar "the ManHole" and as I was about to look through a 4" hole drilled in the stall wall, I noticed www.jalopyjournal carved above the hole... I ran straight home and logged on... I stayed online all night, sore ass and all... Actually, I just stumbled into this site around December of '01... Registered right after the Round Up '02... Been an asshole every since... HC
R.F. told me that someone was asking about my club , and that I should get in on it . That was a long time ago .
[ QUOTE ] Actually, Been an asshole every since... HC [/ QUOTE ] You blame the HAMB for your assholishness?
Byron Kauffman in Florida (photographer for Continental Restyling) is a member of a Ducati forum I belong to in the UK...he told me that his brothers friends cousin or something hung out here all the time & it was cool.... Checked it out, hung out for a while, and then signed up... Dave
When Wife bought a first gen iMac and showed me where the "on" button was I found the "Sherlock" web search and searched for hotrods got a bunch of porn sites, and The Jalopy Journal, Rodders Roundtable, and StreetRod Stuff. I lurked at all of them for a while, ok a few hours, and signed up. I still check them all out regularly. (I'm signed up for a HONDA board too!)
you have kustomd,hubnut and monkey to blame for my presence........came in search of Denison pictures....stayed to party.........
Before the HAMB,there was Ryans Jalopy Journal site.I found that surfing for hotrod sites;sent him some pix of my '40 coupe;he liked them and did a feature on it.I kept checking back for a couple of years and saw his notices about a hotrod chat line called the hokey ass message board; and the rest ,as they say ,is history. Of course, I lurked here for awhile to see how the site would work out.I've been lovin' it ever since !!!!
From Axle... he told me to check out the thread on Marky's PPE, cuz he thought it was hilarious. It was.
December 1999, did an About.com search and found the Autoholics site, a link led me here. Didnt even know what a message board was at the time!
I saw the URL carved on a stone tablet along with ten other less important commandments in a cave somewhere in the Middle East Actually through a link on Mart's site I believe.
Just about like Dr J's experience....got a brand new computer and that very night, I typed in "hot rod".....found Hot Rod Deluxe magazine and a link to the Jalopy Journal and the HAMB.....I was hooked....Mrs Rocky made me get my very own computer to get me off hers.
The Jalopy Journal
